Hi, My daughter is attending Harris East Dulwich in September. I'm keen to meet some people before they start up. Is the Facebook group the best place? I see we just missed the picnic yesterday. Looking forward for to the one in August. Thanks, Chelsea

Thank you so much Renata! I second prm's comment as I don't really feel like anyone can answer my questions. I plan to withdraw as you suggest as I can't physically send my daughter to a school in Bellingham as I'm a lone parent with a good network of friends who help me as I travel with work. I would be unable to fulfil my job obligations if I didn't have a network who can help with pick up. prm - I called Southwark on Thursday and have asked for my daughter to be added to the waiting list for a few schools. It needs to go through Lewisham admission team but it should be done quite easily I'm told from Southwark. I'm a bit weary of Lewisham's process but will continue to chase. I have to say Southwark has been a great help.

Renata, I live in Lewisham borough and have been told by the admissions team that I won't be added to any of the lists unless I put the school on my original application. This is different from Southwark and Lambeth but trying to appeal. We have been allocated a school in Bellingham even though I only live 750m from Kelvin Grove but it wasn't on my list as I was due to move and had to limit my Forest Hill choices to 'just in case'. Do you know if that is correct? Or did I just catch someone on a bad day? Hoping for the latter. Thanks in advance.
